"Yes, that's him," Corey Feldman confirms as Dr. Oz holds up a photo of C. Jon Grissom on Thursday's bombshell episode The Dr. Oz show.

For years, Feldman has attempted to get these names out into the public and after going onto the Oz Show and contacting the authorities in Los Angeles, he's finally and publicly outed one of his alleged abusers.

In his book, Feldman described what Grissom did to him in graphic detail. He used a pseudonym at the behest of his attorneys to describe everything Grissom did.

"We had to change the names legally," Feldman said. "The lawyers made me change the names. ... They gave me a list of three or four, you know, names. I picked the one that sounded closest to his name."

More than 40 million Kidde fire extinguishers are being recalled following one death and nearly 400 complaints of faulty operation, according to a US government notice. Some have been on the market for more than 4 decades.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall notice on Thursday, saying that the extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to operate, and thus fail to spray during an emergency.

Watch Young Turks co-founder Cenk Uygur dismiss Olivia Munn's allegations of sexual harassment against Brett Ratner in 2011

Actress Olivia Munn is one of six women that have accused director Brett Ratner of sexual misconduct. She originally alluded to this abuse, however, way back in 2010, in her book Suck It, Wonder Woman! The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek.

Munn accused Ratner of masturbating in front of her as she delivered him food, though not by name. The director retaliated by saying they participated in consensual sex acts, claiming that he "banged her a few times." Ratner later apologized and admitted to lying about these claims.

Back before this information was known about Ratner and Munn - and years before other women came out and alleged that the director had abused them - progressive commentators The Young Turks took on the actress's allegation during a 2011 segment referencing the director's use of a gay slur.

Comment: At one time The Young Turks was a show that pointed out the absurdity of the American political system. Now though, it appears it's a show ran by clueless idiots who are essentially controlled opposition. See:

Catalan Independence is not worth dying for

Catalan Independence Is Not Worth Dying For

Catalan Independence Is Not Worth Dying For
The region is not suffering oppression nor is it colonized. The Catalan independence movement is being driven by nothing more than cultural nationalism and economic self-interest. It is the self-determination of fools.

Yet, regardless, with the Catalan regional parliament in Barcelona declaring UDI (unilateral independence from Spain), and with the Spanish government in Madrid imposing direct rule on the region, the stage is set for a violent clampdown by a Spanish state that has already demonstrated its willingness to mete out violence during the course of this crisis. The outcome, unless sanity prevails, may well be bloody and brutal.

The possibility of such a scenario when it comes to the cause of Catalan independence is especially mind-boggling, because arrive in Barcelona and you are confronted not by a downtrodden city where a heavy atmosphere of oppression lingers - such as Belfast in the 1960s and 1970s, for example, or the occupied territories of Palestine today - but by one of the most modern and affluent cities in Europe, located in one of the richest regions of Europe.

Canada will take in 310,000 immigrants next year as part of the government's new plan to raise immigrant intake by about 13 percent over the next three years and admit nearly one million newcomers by 2020.

"Everyone has been of the opinion we need more workers, we need more skilled workers, we need more people to power our economy, address our real skills shortages, address our real labor market shortages and also address the regional nature of some of these requirements," Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said on Wednesday. "So we've listened."

"Our government believes that newcomers play a vital role in our society," Hussen said, adding that five million Canadians are set to retire by 2035 and "we have fewer people working to support seniors and retirees."

Stromquist refused to engage with those objecting to her work.
A series of wall-sized black-and-white paintings of women spreading their legs wide to reveal a red splotch of period blood, on public display in Stockholm's underground system, have proven divisive among passengers of various ages.

Painted by feminist cartoonist Liv Stromquist, the posters, featuring female figure skaters doing leg lifts, dominate the platforms of the central Slussen station. The metro station, like most others in the Swedish capital, serves as a display space for an ever-changing art exhibition.


Comment: This is a reflection of the continuing downward spiral of western society whereby someone creates amateur imagery displaying little talent other than the ability to shock. Which admittedly is becoming harder in our post-modernist times.

Reactions since the images were put up in late September have varied - from urban indifference, to tourist picture-taking, to upset commuters posting on social media to signal their displeasure.

A Twitter employee deactivated President Donald Trump's personal account, before it was brought back online 11 minutes later, the social media company said.

Twitter initially said the incident, which occurred around 7:00pm Eastern time, was caused by "human error" and that it was "inadvertent."

However, three hours later, new details emerged suggesting it was intentional. The tech company found that the employee responsible was working their last day with the company, in the customer support sector.

"We are conducting a full internal review," Twitter said. In an earlier statement, the social network said it was "taking steps to prevent this from happening again."

The deactivation was welcomed by some of the president's critics and detractors, who urged Twitter to repeat the mistake again, permanently, in the near future.

Another attack in Sweden
A powerful explosion mangled the doors of a nightclub in Malmo, Sweden, on Thursday, but no casualties have so far been reported. The city has recently been hit by a series of blasts.


Comment: SOTT's investigation into an attack in April this year: Terror attack in Sweden - who's behind it?


A bomb squad and a team of technical specialists have been called to the Babel nightclub in central Malmo, police spokesman Magnus Lefèvre said, as cited by SVT. So far it is unclear what type of explosive device was used, but efforts to determine it are under way.

Although the incident took place in the evening, no clubgoers are believed to have been injured in the blast, he said. The motive for the explosion remains as yet unknown.

Daesh said that the attacker in the deadliest terrorist attack in New York since 9/11, is a member of the terrorist organisation.

Daesh terror group has claimed responsibility for the Tuesday's terrorist attack that killed eight in New York City in its online publication. The terrorist organisation said in its weekly newspaper issue that the attacker was one of their "soldiers", Reuters reported.

The newspaper failed to provide any evidence to support such claims, however.

Antifa says it has no plans for civil war this Saturday

According to a new conspiracy theory, antifa groups want to start a civil war on November 4. But the idea rests on some very slender reeds.
If you are inside the "alt-right" information bubble, you might be preparing yourself for a civil war to commence this Saturday.

Since late September, the idea has been circulating on Facebook groups, subreddit message boards, Twitter, and leading conspiracy media outlets that on 4 November, anti-fascist groups will begin a violent insurrection.

Some websites are telling their readers that antifa groups are "planning to kill every single Trump voter, Conservative and gun owner" this weekend. Hundreds of Facebook posts show how seriously consumers of such media are taking the news, and comments like "One more threat against white people and I swear to God I'm going to take a goddamn car and run over every fucking one of them" are not unrepresentative of the response.

But antifa groups have no plans to protest that day, and the small leftist groups who are planning protests have only dubious connections to the antifa movement. So what gives?

The whole thing rests on some very slender reeds, according to Spencer Sunshine, who recently wrote a report on the theories for the far right-monitoring group Political Research Associates. In the conspiracy underground on YouTube, he explains, there has been talk that "there was going to be a civil war" starting in November for some months.


Comment: In these days of rampant hysterization, all it takes is a rumor and you'll have them at each others throats. Are the powers-that-be looking to further divide the masses via their alternative news shills? Perhaps Charlottesville was a trial run, and having primed everyone, this is the next step. It won't take much for the powder keg that is America to explode.
